Watch the Top 50 movies of all time - Named by IMDB

So, next on the list and probably the cheapest and laziest of them all:

Watch the Top 50 movies of all time.

I have a Brother and best friend who are movie buffs (read geeks) and constantly highlight my peasant knowledge of classic films and directors but, no more! I shall be conquering the Top 50 films and dropping into conversation things like, "Coppola certainly did start on the path of success in her role in the Godfather - oh you didn't know that? No, not many people do"... and other haughty lines.

I'm pretty pleased with my score so far (I've seen the ones in purple); so only the westerns and a few "dodgy" films left and I'll have seen them all!

How did you do? And is there a better list than IMDB I should be looking at? Click below for the link to the live IMDB list.

I think that there are some more foreign films missing but that because I'm a sucker for the French and I think Amelie should be at #1! Saving Private Ryan is far too high up (in my humble opinion) and Spirited Away is not high enough.

I am sure GeekandSpell will have plenty to say on this matter so I will await the expert opinion Or you could visit the site where they know much more about films and have reviews galore!

you neeeeed to watch schindlers list next! I remember the first time I watched it was at school as part of history class, I bawled in front of my friends (never lived it down) its so emotional grab a box of tissues!
